The lists attached to the pictures were typed. Some of the names are hard to read.

AMULET SCHOOL 1896 MY FIRST SCHOOL

[All comments are those of O.B. POWELL]

This school was located on Squaw Creek near the Powell home. It was located some 1 and 1/2 miles East of where Tolar, Texas is now located.

Front Row Standing. The TWO BOYS holding the slate with the BUSTER BROWN bow ties and the striped shirt waists are, left to right VERNON POWELL and O.B. POWELL. The third boy in the white waist is Bob Byrum, I think.

I was seven (7) years old and my brother Vernon was five (5) year old. Vernon had not started to school at the time. My father was a trustee at Amulet, so the teacher wanted him (Vernon) to be in the picture. (There were 24 in the school, not counting the teacher).

TOLAR PUBLIC SCHOOL GROUP - 1900

W. L. Powell, Co-Principal with Marion McIlroy

Only a few whose names are listed are identified as shown. There are many others that I can pick out but for lack of room to designate them. The school had two Principals that year as stated above. My brother, W. L. Powell was the head Principal with Marion McIlroy as second Principal but to avoid jeolosy the school board called them Co-Principals.
